Founded by Loco Dice and Martin Buttrich in 2007, Desolat has become of one Europe's most prominent minimal and tech house labels. This year's sampler features seven unreleased contributions from Desolat regulars like Reboot, Guti and Buttrich himself, as well as cuts from Hector & Alexkid, Funk E and Filsonik. Desolat X-Sampler will be available digitally and on vinyl, and is due to hit stores in early December.

More on Martin Buttrich

Martin Buttrich is famously as fluent behind a mixing console as in front of a virtual drum kit. That technical prowess, combined with a fascination for music of every shape, has resulted in outstanding releases on influential labels such as Planet E, Four:Twenty, Cocoon, Poker Flat, Nervous and Desolat. He’s also put his sonic thumbprint on many big ticket artists, notably receiving a Grammy nomination for a Tori Amos remix in 2003. Such diverse musical horizons are rare. While other prolific artists may have slowly watered down their music, Buttrich’s star has risen in diametric opposition.View the full artist profile
